Brian Banks, Exonerated of Rape, Signs to Play Pro Football

The Brian Banks case has appeared on this blog before with postings by Nancy Petro here and Kana Sasakura here.

A high school football standout in southern California, he was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for rape. With the help of the California Innocence Project, he was exonerated earlier this year. His dream has always been to play pro football.

He has just signed with the Las Vegas Locomotives, and hopes that this will be his stepping stone to the NFL. See story here.
